# Save accounts

`POST /bus/accounts`

Saves the provided accounts to the database.

## Request body

- object
  - `accounts` Account[]
    - `id` string — The account's ID
    - `cleanShutdown` boolean — Whether the account has been cleanly shutdown. If not, the account will require a sync with the host.
    - `hostKey` string — The host's public key
    - `balance` string — The account's balance as expected by the worker
    - `drift` string — The accumulated drift between the worker's expected balance and the host's actual balance. Used to track if a host is trying to cheat the renter over time.
    - `owner` string — The owner of the account that manages it. This is the id of the worker that maintains the account.
    - `requiresSync` boolean — Whether the account requires a sync with the host. This is usually the case when the host reports insufficient balance for an account that the worker still believes to be funded.
